As far is an know the only two seater injection kit is from Xtrakitkit (ie Hannants) and as far as I have heard the wing to fuselage join is pretty poor.

The Airfix kit is not TOO bad in outline accuracy but does need a bit of work to make it presentable.

Matchbox also offered a two-seater - actually, there were/are two fuselage fronts included which you can bolt on. The overall kit is rather simple, though, but fit is good.

This thing has also been re-released by Revell, AFAIK, so watch out which Revell kit you use/take. The "real"/good Revell Hunter is just a single seater, the FGA.9 in RAF markings, and if IIRC there had been two decal versions of this kit around (one with red, one with yellow hi viz trim on the box art - or was that the 1:32 kit?).

The Revell Mk6 has the yellow fin while the Mk9/Mk58 has a red fin on there respective box art.

Ah, thanks - then I got it right from memory!
